Not to get ahead of ourselves, I have to install moore vents in the rafters to properly vent the attic before the vapour barrier can be put on the ceiling!

You got me reaching for the saw, lol. I was thinking, man he’s old school 😂. Thanks for the video. I am enclosing a porch and making it an addition and was not sure how to insulate the low roof ceiling without blocking up the soffits, you showed us how to approach this. 👍🏼

CONGRATS ON 99 SUBS! I honestly can't even imagine a higher number of subs.

its crazy to me how expensive these vents are - they're made of the same Styrofoam stuff you get at the grocery store underneath the chicken but for the price of a lb of chicken EACH!

I watched this whole thing and I didn't see a single sub...

Why would you not spend 200 and buy a rolling scaffold ? When done sell on CL . Nice work

Why is it important for air to be venting through the attic? Just moisture and mold?

@craigbb9177 Жыл бұрын

you should never have two vaper barriers on the wall. Moisture will collect between them

I bought the cardboard ones but they seem kind of cheap and I am wondering if they might be effected by condensation over time. What do you think of the cardboard ones?

@zackcrafted 8 ай бұрын

Oh I actually haven’t heard of those type but that would be a concern of mine too, if over time they get damp and even rip through the staples and fall off. Usually I’m pretty confident in recognized brands products though, so if it’s from a reputable brand they should be good to go, gotta watch out for the gimmick brands though 🙃

Cardboard ones in my home effectively dry rotted out after a few years. I ended up replacing it with a plastic baffle.

@stevenpringle7813 7 ай бұрын

I ended up building my own out of some old scraps of plywood and lumber I had lying around that I wanted to get rid of anyway.

Solid idea, those won't be going anywhere!

Where did you buy the pink styrofoam baffles?

@zackcrafted 10 ай бұрын

These were bought at a local Home Hardware here in Ontario

Is every rafter supposed to have a vent? I never seen this

@zackcrafted Жыл бұрын

There is a min amount, but you can’t have to many! Your attic space is suppose to be cold, so allowing air through the eaves, into the attic, and then out the roof vent, allows humid air to escape the attic and avoid unwanted moisture

4:29 Hi whats the gray stuff on your post base? Caulk?

@zackcrafted Жыл бұрын

Yep! It is caulk, siding guys did that :p

@venegasenmerida6307 Жыл бұрын

I need to do this except they already blew in insulation 🥺 Where did you get these vents?

@zackcrafted Жыл бұрын

Ooo ya, it’ll be a little annoying to do once the blown in insulation is in. They are called Moore vents and you should be able to get at any home supply store (Home Depot, lowes, etc)

@patharney9070 10 ай бұрын

Best rafter vents

@SirD1 Жыл бұрын

How far up did you take the baffles?

@zackcrafted Жыл бұрын

I think it was 36” from the top plate. I took into account the blown in insulation and made it 12” higher then that I believe

you need a ridge vent

@zackcrafted Жыл бұрын

We got gable vents, but good call!

@billharris1975 6 ай бұрын

You should never put gable vents and a ridge vent in the same attic.They will work against each other,the gable vents will suck air in and out through the ridge vent. Thus little air movement down lower.
